I have often pondered why most of my website’s pages don’t show up in Google searches. I thought it must have something to do with using a content management portal (PHPNuke), and/or with how the URLs are formed. Well, I was right… Continue reading Experiment underway…
I completed my 2004 computer upgrade last weekend, and finally got around to documenting it all. You may enjoy reading my “journal” of the process and the results.
Apparently I’m both dumb and ignorant. A few weeks back, in the early to mid February time frame, I made some very rapid changes to this site. Basically, I upgraded to a newer version of PHPNuke in about thirty minutes- I had my reasons. Continue reading Oops…
I’m like most people: I complain about all the things in my life that aren’t quite the way I want them. My sore back. The fact that I’m not a millionaire. The high taxes I pay. The many years remaining on my mortgage. Continue reading Sometimes…
I’ve started my semi-annual computer upgrade process. I’ve opted for an AMD 64 configuration this time, the first time that I’ve selected a non-Intel processor for my main computer gaming rig.
I’ll eventually be writing a little article on the topic, but for now you can check out some pictures I’ve taken during the initial assembly..
Apparently, Janet Jackson “accidentally” exposed her right nipple during the halftime show of the SuperBowl. Justin Timberlake ripped of a “tear away” piece on her outfit as part of the act. In case you missed, here it is.
Okay, now that you’ve seen it…tell me, did you suffer outrage, anger, embarrassment and serious injury. How about several billion dollars worth? No? Well, apparently an astoundingly litigious and presumably remarkably sensitive woman named Terri Carlin in Knoxville, Tennesee, suffered so.
Some advertisements speak volumes about the quality and suitability of their product.
Others don’t … and don’t try this at home, kids 🙂

Sir Bill, Knight of Realm….has a nice ring to it. And apparently its going to happen. Continue reading Sir Bill…
President George W. Bush Jr. is now pushing for a new manned space program.
This really puts me in a bind. My feelings about Bush (“Dubblya” to his friends) are akin to those I had regarding Reagan in the early years. Fear, anger, frustration and amazement. Warfare, “evil empire” type hawkish statements, and huge growth in military spending…where could this all lead.
Yet, ultimately, my feelings about Ronald Reagan changed. He became chummy with the then-USSR. The Berlin wall fell. The Cold War ended peacefully. And arguably, at least some of that result can be attributed to President Reagan.
And now Bush wants to put people back in space in a big way….
Continue reading Is it possible for Bush to do something right?
I’m 40 years old today. Its just a date on the calendar, like any other. But this particular period of life, two score years since birth, is often freighted with meaning by people. Lordy lordy, look who’s forty…mid-life…over the hill… Continue reading The glass is half…
